These are wonderful! Sure to be enjoyed by the teachers and your family! I really love all your fairy-art you do with your daughters!I would love to try this out with my daughter! If I do I will be sure to take pictures and send you a link! :)

My father made some container gardens with cement "bowls" he made himself. I wanted to make little houses for them, but what I made ended up too large, so I put them in my garden.http://www.flickr.com/photos/ladystrathconn/sets/736359/

I would love this present if one of my students made it for me. I would leave it in my classroom and make up little fairies to live there and do funny things in my room.

What a great idea! I love gifts that can be displayed for a time to remind the receiver of the giver. Thanks for the painting shoes idea. We get lots of hand me downs with stains and I need a way to make them more colorful and appealing. I was just wondering what to do with all the radishes in our garden. What a yummy solution to my delema.

I love your fairy gardens. I have seen them before in a flower border garden, but they always seem to get lost. I love the idea of doing them in a pot. I made a bunch with my kids for our deck, you can see them here http://www.lifeisaparty.ca/?p=2628Thanks so much for some inspiration!Dannyelle @ www.lifeisaparty.ca

My friend is a teacher and would love to have one of these. I can't wait to show my appreciation to her by creating one of these fairy gardens. I have to make one for myself also! Thanks for sharing! '~ Mare

I've found little bags of moss at Michaels in the dried flowers area by the fake feather birds and those weird decorative balls with seeds and stuff glued all over them. I also buy my moss at JoAnnes in the silk flower area - they come in clear bags about the size of a gallon ziplock.

Thanks so much! I did find variety moss bags at the dollar store, they are about a quart size bag for a dollar (obviously). Is that a good price? They also had larger bags of reindeer and spanish moss. I will have to get over to Michael's sometime for the bird houses, so I will try to look for the moss then as well. Also found bags of pebbles/rocks, the bowls, and decorative fake butterflies/birds at the dollar store. Hoping $1 is a good price for all those items. I'll save the receipt and compare prices once I get to Michael's I guess. My daughter and I are SO excited to make these for her preschool teachers! :)
